CISM Certified Information Manager is better
The focus of CISSP is more on the operational side of information security while CISM’s is on the strategic side of information security
The worth depends on what you're pursuing. As already stated, the CISSP is more technically oriented, while the CISM is more tailored to managerial and auditing roles.
(One commonality here is that both have difficult exams to be passed, and require experience for eligibility.)
CISSP and CISM are two of the most widely sought after certification programs for information security and is a certification on information security, governed by independent and non-profit. But from my point of view, CISM is preferable.
CISM is high level focused for managers. CISSP is more hands on.
CISM is more business focused
Depend on experience but CISM is better...
CISM is more business focused while CISSP is technically focused
CISSP is a shallow level across a broad spectrum of technical InfoSec domains.
CISM is more focussed on processes to manage risk in the InfoSec arena. CISA is similar but focusses on the audit aspect.
